🇬🇧 English

This regulation corrects EU pesticide residue rules for fenpyrazamine, a substance used in plant protection products. It fixes a clerical timing error from 2019 that caused one set of residue limits to overwrite another in the EU’s main pesticide residue regulation. The practical impact is narrow. Food producers, importers, testing labs, and compliance teams dealing with affected plant products should check the corrected Annex II limits under Regulation 396/2005 and make sure product testing and documentation use the right fenpyrazamine thresholds.
